tbaba1234:
I think, he should stay away from Mourinho.. He should move to Liverpool

I concur.

tbaba1234:
Take away the assist and he was just good.. Willian had a better game

For Chelsea, na Kante not Williams.

TheSuperNerd:
Ndidi is playing far better than both Kante and Bakayoko. Bakayoko even picked up a yellow for a bad play on Nacho.

Kante also got saved by the whistle becos he also caught Nacho late and it was a foul but what saved him is that the second half whistle had gone already.

Yes! Ndidi played better than Babayoko but he was not near Kante.

eterisan:
I disagree boss..... Nah nah..... Except is another game I am watching..... Kante is virtually driving Chelsea forward, breezing past players, closing spaces and all.... Ndidi has offered nothing offensive in this game.... Except the shot.... Same old same old... Tackle tackle.... He's great at that... I want to see more.... Ndidi.... Feed us more...

Hahahahahah! I thought I watched the back of the TV with that em statement.

TheSuperNerd:
I dont know what you guys are trying to get at.... But it is clear that Leicester conceeded because of Mahrez. Nacho gave him a pass (after winning the ball off two players) and yes it was slightly behind Mahrez, Mahrez still got the ball under control and had the choice to go wide right instead of trying to do a maradona when surrounded by three players. Iheanacho was in position and keeping himself onside and any further step from him will be offside.... So the fault is on Mahrez.

So after Mahrez lost the ball, the ball was fed to William and Ndidi had the chance to stop him but he was afraid of the card so he kinda let William thru and viola! William picked out Morata with a beautiful thru pass and morata just did the rest one on one with Schmeichel....

Gbam! So Nacho has no fault in this at all. If for say I no dey watch naa, I go just dey hear this one today. Na wa ooo

That Iheanacho pass was a very poor one. He ought to have done better and it could had been the game changer. However, on a second look, Mahrez was at fault but Leicester city fan would be angry Iheanacho spoilt the counter attack move.

He will be partly blamed.

tbaba1234:
He is playing better than Kante

Ooooooo! Were you serious?

BascoVanVeli:
Well excuse my Latin.

Epic response.

BascoVanVeli:
Mikel with 2 assists today

Mikel baba. I dey hail ooo.

chrisooblog:
I know that bro it was the solanke fanboys who made such claims at the time

Kelechi Iheanacho chased out Bonny Wilfred. And you believe it.

komekn:
YES, Initially Leicester city was threatened with relegation the board sacked Shakespeare got Puel and things have improved immensely since.

KC has scored one goal in the EPL Tega has scored 4, Tega has scored 3 cup goals and KC 4. Haven't bothered about assists and other stats. In your esteemed opinion who is in better form

KC had a big transfer fee huge expectation and would you say he has delivered

Solanke is not in the reckoning he was bought for literally nothing and has three top class international players standing in his way. So can't really say much because there wasn't much expectation placed on him.

Spot on.

Mujtahida:
Forgiveness is this not the question I asked?you gave my question an entirely different spin. Is being in the national team the same as having automatic slot in the national team? Omo, I weak for you.

Oga! Is Agbo in the National team? Answer.. Yes or no.

Mujtahida:
I am sure you are being ridiculous. Agbo that is hanging on the fringes. That he's been invited consistently does not mean he has an automatic slot. Mind you we are talking of the final 23 man list for the WC. That's where you are preserving an automatic slot for Torunarigha and others.

Oga! You asked who is in the National team and has done nothing. I mentioned Agbo but here you are pulling another string.

Is Agbo currently in the National team? Answer.. Yes or No.

Kog45:
I used to tell you some of us are really foreign freak and we intend to be biased when it comes to sensitive issues.

Think of it we lowered the standard of goalkeeping to division three even regional league just to absorbed the FB but truth be told it's absurd considering a youth keeper with no experience for super eagles even if keeper like Akpeyi is not convincing.

Now to Bundesliga trio,i specifically watched Uduokhai and Akpoguma this season and of late Torunarigha.No doubt they are good guys that will add value to our team but not on automatic slots especially for WC.

Uduokhai,Akpoguma and Torunarigha are normal footballer like what we have presently with no clear distinct except having real fundamental basic knowledge of football which cannot be taken away from them but without sentiments attached ,it would be a huge task for them to displace any defenders even Omeruo

I see some criticising Omeruo for best reason know to them forgetting this is a young lad with WC experience and is doing well for his club though tbaba1234 said he should be blamed for his side three goals but we forgot that if we want to base it on weekly performance some of our players would not smell national team

They cannot be having outstanding weekly performance always,so normal to have one or two matches that they failed to live upto expectations but that should not be a yardstick to judge them or to make us believe they are not good enough cos of some foreign born players who turned us down but seeing WC as an avenue to explore.

WC slot to Torunarigha would be a greatest mistake from Rohr and NFF cos it can destabilize the unity of the team and they should take a cue from Cameroon national team who did similar thing for the likes of Assou Ekotto,they paid dearly for it.

Let these FBs come to camp and prove that they are better just like Ebuhei,Idowu and Aina did recently and the team would be better for it.

Not against the German guys but they should prove to us that they are better and convincing

Is it not here we heard we are building a team and we don't need old players?

They told us Martins Obafemi is old and he is not needed despite his Sterling performance in recent years.

MetalJigsaw:
Yes of course

Mtcheww.

komekn:
The KC debate again.

The truth is too bitter for many ears here to hear and accept.

I tire ooooooo...

The truth is truly bitter.

Sainty92:
Bros football no be by seniority o. If not na papa Peter crouch suppose dey carry highest goal scorer every year where small boys like harry Kane dey. For now Nacho is better than Tammy wen u consider playing minutes attained recently plus recent goals and assists. They are both young lads and they have time on their side in achieving greatness more than the other. For now, I go with Nacho.

Of course, I know Iheanacho is better than Tammy currently but statistically speaking, Tammy Abraham is ahead for now this season. That's it.


Please, take note that Abraham scored goals last month with an assist this month.

safarigirl:
sorry o, is it Firmino you guys are calling Firnamo here?

Na Firmino. Thanks
.
Auto correct go still call am Firnamo.

jihday:
then shame suppose dey catch Ronaldo because he started top flight football ahead of Messi. some people like to dey yarn pete for here sha

So, for your mind, Ronaldo is lesser than Messi, ba?

Mujtahida:
I am making inference from the tenor of your argument and the position you took on the matter.

Show me the inference make I see but if there's none, you are wrong.

isan:
Aina was played out of position in the gwg since we now have idowu a natural left back I hope Roth we move aina back to his natural role the right back

Let us wait and see how things goes.

Mujtahida:
Abi ooo komekn. Your brother forgiveness approves of giving them automatic slot. What say you to giving the German born players automatic slots?

Can you show me where I approved given them automatic slot?

But people here say Firnamo is average!

See better goal.

Mujtahida:
Still not a good enough reason to give any player automatic slot. Mention just one player that we have who had an automatic slot from Mikel to Musa to Moses down to the latest recruits Ebuehi and Idowu. So why the exception for these guys? They must fight for their places. Nothing like automatic.

This is just your preference for anything foreign speaking not necessarily common sense. I doubt if komekn will just agree that any player should have an automatic slot. This is an excess taken too far

I think Rohr who is chasing and luring them with World cup slots is not doing it with common sense!?

What is my own?


No be una tell me say make I allow Rohr do em work?

chrisooblog:
Na u dey bring dodgy arguments is it not shameful that abraham can only account for 1 extra goal and two assists more than kc even after playing approximately 800 minutes more than him

Who be senior for EPL btw Kelechi and Tammy?

Dem no suppose dey d same class except say senior repeat class.

Is that one not shameful?

Make senior dey follow Junior dey drag point for the same class.

See as he wan lie say na me dey start the argument. Mtcheww!

isan:
Aina has 38 start in 38 games for hull city this season he's playing regularly also and he's also on the team of the week a couple of times despite playing in a more tougher league and he's got more minute for Nigeria than ebuehi i think aina is more experienced than ebuehi

I know but this is the first season he is playing consistently.

Ebuehi also made team of the week too. Besides, Ebuehi had played in an unofficial friendly for the Super Eagles before the Argentina match.

However, I don't trust Aina's defensive part of his game though I don't know if he has improved.

Anyway, we hope to see them play in the friendlies first before we conclude.

tbaba1234:
Mikel Agu, man of the match.

That's my boy. I just believe in this lad and I hope he proves me right.

eterisan:
so who will miss out then.... Ainá is officially capped..... The thing hard.... Performances in the friendlies will tell sha..... Except all will go with use of 352 formation in mind... In that case a forward or midfielder might drop out.... Let's wait for friendlies then....

It doesn't matter. Aina can be dropped..

Well, as you have rightly said, let us wait for the friendlies then we can talk afterwards.

Mujtahida:
Of course national team. My point is that even if you have a good footballer you have to merit your place in the team not that a slot will be kept for you.

Are Awaziem and Omeruo consistently performing in the Gwg at the national team currently?

chrisooblog:
For table 1 that u presented that was beginning of the season when clubs were still finding their form after those first few weeks leicester city rightly moved up the table anyone reading what u originally posted will get the impression leicester city were battling to survive the drop for most of the season which was not the case

Now on to your graphic about abraham and kelechi's stats you posted even that kills your arguments according to your table abraham scored 7 goals in 1880 minutes whereas kc scored 6 goals approximately 1100 minutes at best kc edges it at worst nothing to choose between the two

Oga, I intentionally removed the date from the first one. That was October 2017 and it was the 8 week. It was just 3 weeks after I made that statement. That was November 17th 2017.

Oga! Leicester city battled with relegation last season too. How many coaches have they sacked this season alone? Why?

Of course, I know na draw or Tammy slightly edges him. But take note that this is Abraham's first season in EPL. Unlike, Kelechi Iheanacho who is in his 3rd season.


Besides, why did you exclude their assists?

5 assists for Tammy and 3 assists for Iheanacho?

Wayo guy.

Mujtahida:
These are all valid reasons for getting back up but even at that no player gets an automatic slot. For what na. @the bolded, how would you know when you have lowered the bar by giving them automatic slot instead of them fighting hard for their place through top quality consistent performance(as your friend komekn will say) in camp and under testing
If he's using WC to entice them it's not wise in my opinion. Their place has to be merited. I can as well spin your argument and say just because we have a gk crisis Maduka should be given an automatic slot.

Abeg show me just one player we have who has an automatic slot, a slot just reserved for him without past or present merit, just mention one.

Which bar?

What do you mean by consistent performance? Is it in the club or in the National team?

Make I understand you first.

In the goalkeeper department, we have better options but in the defence, I don't think so.
